This allows us to use ADB on the stock ROM but it usually isn't needed (we enable it just in case). Enable "Developer Options" (if it has a toggle) then enable "USB Debugging". If it isn't there, go into "About phone" and tap "Build number" 7 times. Go into settings and look for "Developer Options" or something along those lines. Now to prepare the device to be flashed with TWRP. You can get the latest version (as of ) here.

It, along with a bunch of other things come in a flashable zip format that gets flashed using a custom recovery.

Using Magisk will allow you to hide root from apps that detect it and it would allow things like Android Pay to still work. Normally I would recommend SuperSU however since you're on Marshmallow I recommend Magisk instead.

Now to download the part that actually roots your device. Open this folder and move its contents into the "Odin_3.12.3" folder from before. Extract the "platform-tools-latest-windows.zip" file and there should be a "platform-tools" folder. You can download the latest version (as of ) of the platform tools for Windows here. It has multiple use cases and can be used in recovery or just in the normal Android system. These contain multiple tools (including fastboot as I mentioned earlier) but we are after ADB (Android Debug Bridge). Now we need to download the Android platform tools. Please note that this is an unofficial TWRP build. You can get the latest version (as of ) of TWRP for your device here.

Devices do have stock recoveries but these are programmed to only flash files signed by the manufacturer, people don't often notice this but stock recovery is what the device uses when you run an OTA (Over The Air) update or a factory reset.

TWRP is one of the more full featured recoveries as it has stuff like backup and restore built in. A recovery is a mini-OS that is stored on another partition of the device that can do basic functions like flashing and wiping. Now we need to download Team Win Recovery Project, or TWRP as most people call it. Treat this as your working directory and download all other files to this folder. You should now have a folder called "Odin_3.12.3". You can download the latest version (as of ) here. This tool is called Odin, it's Windows only and leaked from Samsung so you need to get it from a trusted source. On most devices you use a tool called fastboot, but Samsung devices aren't like most devices (excluding the Galaxy Nexus). This can really help for debugging purposes.įirst we need to download the tool that flashes to the devices different partitions. A quick tip though, make sure you have Windows set to display all file extensions. Just tell me if you aren't on Windows, I can easily change the instructions. There is an alternative method for Linux or macOS. Please don't use a virtual machine as these can cause problems communicating with the device.

The following instructions are for Windows only. You are responsible for what you do to your device. Flashing a custom recovery will most likely void any warranty you have.

While you shouldn't need to, backup whats important just in case. It does not store any personal data.You might need to wipe your data in order to root.
